Two friends are hiking in the jungle and spot a hungry tiger. One man changes into running shoes, and his friend questions if the shoes will make him faster than the tiger. The man replies that he does not need to be faster than the tiger, just faster than his friend. This response shows that survival in the corporate world, like in the jungle, is about outperforming others rather than absolute performance. Both employees and predators must be able to outcompete their peers each day in order to succeed.
